According to the vin it's an August 55 SC. Believed to be an original BC truck that spent most of its life in Kelowna. Out side that I couldn't tell u much. It did come with a very cool set of faded black logoed doors...in good shape....i believe it says Kelowna Chimney Service. I don't know if these doors are original to the truck. It seems as tho the SC has a few layers of paint on it....hard to say.
Are you comming down for the show Marty? You should stop over and take a look.
Looking for a dash tray if you have one!

I was looking at buying that truck also.  The previous owner did a bunch of repairs with galvanized metal he got from work (tin basher).  I was checking into the prices of Gearson metal when you beat me to the price!  What 58 do you have?

Thanks guys...u too Geoff!

Tonite I started masking it for primer. I have a couple things I might try to fix but i'm not being real picky with this one. I should have primer on it sometime this weekend....i'll get some pics up then! :)

Well it's been a while since i've had an update. This weekend I primed the engine lid and chest door. I also finished the body work and sprayed polysurfacer on the doors. I figure about an hour or so of sanding and I'll have them primed.
I'm dropping off the rear gate for blasting tomorrow...hopefully i'll have it back for next weekend to start the body work. If all goes well i'll start painting inners hopefully in about 3-4 weeks and paint outside over the christmas holidays!

Well, she's been painted a week now. At first I didn't really like the color...the green's abit lighter that I wanted but as i'm putting it back together it's growing on me. I expect to have it on the road by June.

Thanks Silas
The green is just something I picked out of a color book with no specific vehical code. The color chip actually looked abit darker...oh well....it's growing on me.
Almost ready to start on the electrical...that should be a task in itself!
